I love rice but sometimes you need a low carb option. This is a perfect one to try if you are in the same boat. Hope you like the recipe 3 bags of cauliflower rice (defrosted and then drained) or alternatively blitz the florets of a cauliflower in a food processor. 1 cup of cooked…
Choco cups
It’s been a long time since I have updated the blog. Blame it on me being just busy being a mummy! Now that my baby is 15 months old I am getting the mojo to start creating more recipes. So hopefully this baby of mine (my blog) will receive the attention it deserves. These choco…
